GET TO KNOW TRUMP

Steve Bannon by Michael Vadon

"Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec (pro-Trump Pizzagate promoter) both come from Naval intelligence.[15][16]

"Bannon served as “special assistant” to the Chief of Naval Operations in the Pentagon.
"And, according to investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker, Bannon was indirectly associated with a Costa Rica-based stock swindler and cocaine trafficker whose network included former CIA, US military intelligence and Genovese mafia members.[17][18]."

"Iran-Contra was an operation run entirely out of the hard-right circles within the US and Israel now backing Trump."

"Trump campaign officials had connections to SkyWay Aircraft, which reportedly has links to the trade in narcotics.

"It’s an early example of the partnership which came to full fruition in RussiaGate."

"Since the days of CIA-Mossad-Naval Intelligence collaborator Meyer Lansky, Mossad-allied CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton and ultra-right Trump mentor Roy Cohn there has been a near seamless relationship between the ultranationalist conservative wing of American deep politics, the basically unchallenged far-right Likudnik wing of Israeli politics and the international Russian-Zionist dual criminal-espionage network."

The Trump administration is  connected to think tanks that support:

Aggressive increases in military expenditures,

The use of Erik Prince-associated and Israeli private intelligence networks, running the Ukrainian government, etc.

"The Trump-supporting think tanks are linked to names such as DeVos, Roy Cohn, John Singlaub, and E. Howard Hunt.[13]

"Steve Bannon (Breitbart) and Jack Posobiec (pro-Trump Pizzagate promoter) both come from Naval intelligence.[15][16]

"Bannon served as “special assistant” to the Chief of Naval Operations in the Pentagon.

Trump's team copied Goebbels.

"Pizzagate-promoter Mike Flynn comes out of the DIA, as does his collaborator and former aide at the NSC, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a Zionist national security troll.

"Also linked to Trump are: CIA-Mossad assets: James Woolsey,Oliver North, Erik Prince, Joe Lieberman, Rupert Murdoch, Roger Stone, John Bolton, Peter Thiel, Robert Mercer, Sheldon Adelson, Dick Cheney, Michael Ledeen, and the DeVos family.

"The 'above-ground Trump administration' has members and associates of this network - Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, and Michael Flynn.

"Rudy Giuliani, the Trump legal team’s figurehead, has a mile-long laundry list of connections to the neoconservative movement, Israel lobby and national security establishment.[79]"

"Adnan Khashoggi sold Trump his yacht, the Nabila, at a very low price, attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples and, according to investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker, was given shelter by Trump at Mar-a-Lago while Khashoggi was being pursued by INTERPOL for defrauding a Thai bank.[88][89]

"Khashoggi had a role in Iran Contra/BCCI (Khashoggi was a key middleman for weapons transfers), Ted Shackley’s Safari Club, Nixon dirty tricks teams, the Imelda Marcos affair, and Bush family-City of London front company Barrick Gold.[90][91][92]

"The Trump campaign’s main financial backer, Robert Mercer,  has deep ties to the hard-right think tank network."

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...


Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer 'wielded tremendous influence in the Trump White House directly and through Steve Bannon'.

"John Bolton also got Mercer money, as well as the services of the largely Mercer-owned Cambridge Analytica.[105]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"The Mercer family is an owner and financier of the Trump supporting Breitbart News, which was run by Bannon."

Israeli political elements had a role in the foundation of Breitbart according to its co-founder, Larry Solov:

"Breitbart News Network really got its start in Jerusalem. It was the summer of 2007 ... One thing we specifically discussed that night was our desire to start a site that would be unapologetically ... pro-Israel." - Larry Solov

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...


"In its work for Robert Mercer's super PAC, Cambridge Analytica spread propaganda.[111]

"Neoconservatives were in the Trump apparatus from the very beginning."

.

"Donald Trump's older brother Fred (above) was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu, a Jewish fraternity (above). Donald Trump's brother Fred said that his father, Fred Trump Sr., was the Jewish son of German immigrants.

"Donald’s father, Fred Trump, was a major promoter of Jewish causes (mostly through cash and land donations) along with his closest collaborator and advisor Bunny Lindenbaum, a prominent New York-area legal fixer and well-known Zionist.[114]

"Bunny Lindenbaum and his son, Sandy Lindenbaum - both members of Chabad-Lubavitch - later went on to serve as legal counsel to Donald as well.[115][116]

"Fred Trump was also among the largest initial buyers of Israel Bonds, debt securities issued by the Israeli government in the United States whose proceeds go towards the Israeli government and were apparently instrumental in helping to establish Israel’s infrastructure and defense apparatus.[117]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"Fred Trump became acquainted with Benjamin Netanyahu in the ’80s during Netanyahu’s time as the Israeli ambassador to the UN and Donald Trump has personally known Netanyahu since at the very least the early ’00s when Netanyahu met him at Trump Tower, though the relationship probably goes back much further given Fred’s ties.[120][121]

"Following his father’s lead, Donald has been a prolific donor to Jewish and Israeli causes since the ’70s and later lent office space, telephones, equipment and his private jet to the 1980 Reagan presidential campaign.[122]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"Roy Cohn was Trump’s mentor, foremost advisor and one of his most intimate friends until his death in 1986. [124]

"Cohn is Trump’s earliest link to the 'ultranationalist hard-right' group that backed his presidency and procured innumerable important political connections for Trump."

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



Cohn was highly connected to pro-Israel political circles.

"Cohn was as a lead figure between right-wing pro-Israel politicians and the intelligence community.

"Cohn was on the board of CIA-Mossad front company, Permindex, 'tied to Mossad-cavorting mobster Meyer Lansky and the powerful Zionist Bronfman family among others.'[127][128]

"Cohn took part in a European underground spy hunting ring with several former communists and exiled Nazis counting among its ranks.[135]"

Trump (left) with Sir Robert Maxwell (right), reportedly of Mossad. Robert Maxwell is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who reportedly supplied girls to Trump's friend Jeffrey Epstein. 

"Cohn operated CIA-sanctioned pedophile entrapment and blackmail rings in league with various CIA and Army Intelligence men.

"One which took place in CIA asset Craig Spence’s home reached all the way up to the Reagan White House.[136]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"Cohn himself was a pederast and central player in the “lavender Mafia” – a secretive and closely knit group of closet homosexuals in the American political right, and in particular the Reagan administration.[137][138][139]

"According to the former head of the vice squad for one of America’s biggest cities, 'Cohn’s job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general, a congressman, who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn’s job was to set them up, then they would go along. Cohn told me that himself.'”

"Cohn was a good friend of Craig Spence.

"Spence was later investigated for running a CIA-sanctioned homosexual and pedophile entrapment ring at his house with operations going straight up to the White House.[140]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...


"Cohn connected Trump with numerous political elites and power brokers including several future political allies, namely Rupert Murdoch, Paul Manafort, Roger Ailes (both of Fox News) and Roger Stone, an underhanded GOP dirty tricks operative, media hatchetman and former Cohn partner who got his start as a Nixon goon working on the CREEP reelection campaign and who’s served as Trump’s most trusted political advisor since Cohn’s death in the mid ’80s.

"All four of them were personally introduced to Trump by Cohn.[142][143]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...


"Cohn had preferred mouthpieces in the media.

"The most significant of those was Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, which almost singlehandedly turned Donald Trump into a celebrity."

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...


"Murdoch is rumored to have been recruited by the CIA’s Ted Shackley while Shackley was station chief in Australia.

"Murdoch is in hard-right/Zionist circles.

"Murdoch reportedly plots strategy with Trump over the phone on a weekly basis.[148][149]"

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"At CNN, staffers complain of Jeff Zucker (Trump’s friend and “personal booker“) and his insistence on constantly covering Trump at the expense of other important stories.[150]

"At MSNBC, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski (both of whom have communed with Trump at Mar-a-Lago) and their producers allow Trump to personally dictate what they can and cannot ask him.

"The media gifted Trump full control of the news cycle, almost $2 billion in free advertising and massively disproportionate coverage compared to both rival GOP nomination contenders (even before he registered in the polls) and Clinton.[152][153]

"Hillary Clinton's  scandals were relentlessly aired in the mainstream media."

Kissinger, Ivana and Donald Trump in 1985.

"Kissinger, who’s been a regular advisor and counselor of  Trump has spoken positively of the Trump phenomenon and presidency."

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...

"John Huntsman Jr., Kissinger protege and chairman of the CFR & Trilateral-aligned Atlantic Council, is Trump’s ambassador to Russia.

"In May 2018, Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, the Russian oligarchs behind Alfa Group, held “friendly” closed-door talks with members of the Atlantic Council.[159]

"A group of ‘Eastern Establishment’, ‘Rockefeller Republican’ Wall Street financial insiders led by ultra-connected chairman and CEO of private equity giant, Blackstone Group, Stephen Schwarzman, and leveraged buyout billionaire Wilbur Ross are in the Trump arena.[165]

"Schwarzman, former chair of the Trump White House Strategic & Policy Forum, is part of the Trump inner circle; one of his closest advisors and counselors, particularly on matters related to China, internal White House management and foreign policy.[166]

"Peter Peterson, co-founder of Blackstone, was Schwarzman’s mentor in addition to having been chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, where he succeeded David Rockefeller, whose family coaxed Peterson’s career along.

"In the ’70s, Peterson was chairman of the Peterson Institute - a think tank which includes Lynn Forester de Rothschild and Maurice Greenberg - teamed up with Zionist oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.[167]

'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress...



"Schwarzman was a member of Skull & Bones.

"While working with N M Rothschild & Son, Wilbur Ross (in league with Carl Icahn) helped Donald Trump retain control of three of his utterly bankrupt Atlantic City casinos (one of which was the Taj Mahal, which will later be shown to be involved in Russian mob money laundering) .[172][173]

"Ross has a litany of financial ties to Russian oligarchs and business interests, chief among them the Bank of Cyprus PCL, where Ross is vice chairman. The Bank of Cyprus is a dirty bank that has served as one the top three offshore destinations for Russian and former Soviet Union flight capital, most of it motivated by tax dodging, kleptocracy, and money laundering.[174]"

"There appear to be links between Russia, Israel and the international Russian-Jewish-Eurasian criminal and clandestine network binding New York, Tel Aviv and Moscow."

"The Trump administration has strained US relations with European allies, and torpedoed the Iran deal.

"Robert Mueller’s history as a prosecutor and investigator is not one of sabotaging politicians opposed to the establishment’s agenda, but one of cover up, obfuscation and misdirection, having been involved in covering up corruption in the FBI’s Boston field office, diverting attention away from the true culprits behind the Lockerbie bombing and 2001 Anthrax attacks, obscuring the CIA’s involvement with BCCI/Manuel Noriega and covering up several aspects of 9/11 as well as derailing and subverting Operation Green Quest, the interagency investigation into the financing of Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks."

"Resorts International began its life as the Mary Carter Paint Co. and was originally bankrolled by founding CIA director Allen Dulles [187]

"The company served as a money laundering front for factions within the CIA and various Israeli intelligence bodies which were facilitating the Meyer Lansky criminal syndicate in its own laundering, gambling and drug trafficking operations, many of which supported American and Israeli intelligence operations.[188]

"Lansky was the ranking member of the Jewish mafia and intelligence network in the United States (sometimes called the “kosher nostra”) for most of the 20th century.

"He aided the foundation of the Zionist state of Israel by assisting the Haganah - the underground forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces - in smuggling arms out of the United States and into Palestine.[189]"

Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

"Donald Trump’s long-time mentor and lawyer, Roy Cohn, was on a first-person basis with Lansky throughout much of his life.

"Both Lansky and Cohn are alleged to have run sophisticated espionage and blackmail rings utilizing Mossad-related figures and pro-Israel elements of the American intelligence community and in the process obtained blackmail material on J. Edgar Hoover and many other powerful government officials.[191]

"Later, with the financial backing of Meyer Lansky himself, the Mellon family, Baron Edmond de Rothschild and Mossad money launderer of JFK intrigue Tibor Rosenbaum, the company was spun-off as Resorts International after it moved into the business of operating casinos and resorts in the US and Bahamas as a means of laundering money for the American and Israeli clandestine services.[192][193]

"Trump bought a 93% controlling interest in Resorts."

"Vyachelsov Ivankov, a top Russian mob boss, used to regularly visit the Taj Mahal along with other members of Mogilevich’s mob.

"Yeltsin was particularly under the thumb of Russian-Jewish oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who, along with Russian-Israeli oligarch Roman Abramovich, plucked ex-KGB officer Vladimir Putin from the entirely mob-controlled St. Petersburg political machine and maneuvered him into becoming prime minister and later president of Russia.[197]"

 'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress.



"Just as Israel - itself a mafia state - utilized Meyer Lansky’s criminal network to further its end in the United States and elsewhere, Russian state security utilizes the Russian-Jewish mafia to perform deniable operations that the Russian government can’t risk being exposed."

 'Deep Politics' and Supranational Aspects of the Trump Era – Akamaitree wordpress.



"In the USA, the old Italian mafia left were displaced by the Russian-Jewish mafia,  by 1990.

"The Venona files revealed that Zionists “made up three-fourths of the enemy spies recruited by the Soviets” in the United States.

"Militantly Zionist casino magnate, power broker and enforcer for the Israel lobby, Sheldon Adelson, who gave the Trump general election effort $25 million, wields tremendous influence in the White House."



"Jeffrey Epstein, who is rumored to have moved money for the Mossad, CIA and prominent dynastic political families such as the Rockefellers, managed a sprawling pedophile blackmail ring stretching from the Virgin Islands to Palm Beach to Manhattan that entangled everyone from Trump to Bill Clinton."

Neilly Free Mind commented -

On December 10, 1974, the United States National Security Council promulgated a top secret document entitled National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM-200), also called The Kissinger Report. 

https://parapoliticaljournal.com/tag/the-kissinger-report/ 

It was subtitled “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth For U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” This document was declassified in 1989. 

It laid out a detailed strategy by which the United States would aggressively promote population control in developing nations in order to regulate (or have better access to) the natural resources of these countries. 

In order to protect U.S. commercial interests, NSSM-200 cited a number of factors that could interrupt the smooth flow of materials from lesser-developed countries as it called them, to the United States, including a large population of anti-imperialist youth, who must, according to NSSM-200, be limited by population control. 

The document identified 13 nations by name that would be primary targets of U.S.-funded population control efforts. 



The named countries were India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Colombia. 

According to NSSM-200, elements of the implementation of population control programs could include: a) the legalization of abortion; b) financial incentives for countries to increase their abortion, sterilization and contraception-use rates; c) indoctrination of children; and d) mandatory population control, and coercion of other forms, such as withholding disaster and food aid unless developing countries implement population control programs.

'Ehud Sheleg, Tel Aviv-born UK Conservative Party treasurer 'surprised' was by a knighthood from Theresa May.

'Buying both sides - Jewish Philanthropist Sir Trevor Chinn - friend of Labour Party leader Keir Starmer.' 

'As all decent people know, that isn’t how rich Jews operate. They give money to politicians out of pure goodness of heart and with absolutely no expectation of return. 

'Who but a vile anti-Semite would think that Chinn was trying to control or influence Starmer in any way? 

'As the Jewish Chronicle pointed out, Chinn is a “philanthropist.” He works for the greater good of humanity, just like the Jewish “property developers” Zak Gertler and Richard Desmond, who have given large sums to the Conservative government. 



'It’s pure coincidence that UK Tories “accepted a donation from Richard Desmond shortly after Jenrick approved plans for a £1bn housing development by the property developer.” 

'In his previous incarnation as a pornographer, Desmond also donated large sums to Tony Blair’s Labour government. Desmond’s donations to both Conservatives and Labour are further proof that rich Jews are impartial philanthropists — Desmond obviously ignores politics and gives for the love of giving. 

'Of course, no-one accused Jeremy Corbyn of being influenced by Jewish money because he didn’t accept any. But that’s precisely why he had to be demonized and driven out of the Labour leadership. Unless Jewish millionaires like Chinn, Gertler and Desmond are funding both sides of British politics, how can people be made to understand that Jewish money comes with no strings attached? 

'During the previous Labour government, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were ardent Zionists because they accepted the justice of Israel’s cause, not because Labour’s chief fund-raisers were first the Jew Michael Levy and then the Jew Jonathan Mendelsohn (both are now members of the House of Lords). 

'And during the current Conservative government, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson have been ardent Zionists because they too accept the justice of Israel’s cause, not because the Conservatives’ chief fund-raisers have been first the Jew Sir Mick Davis and then the Jew Sir Ehud Sheleg.'

MARIA RESSA - NOBEL PEACE PRIZE - CIA IN JAKARTA



Maria Ressa, a Filipino-American journalist, has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

She worked for many years for CNN.

In May 1998, she reported on the riots in Indonesia which led to the fall of President Suharto.

She reported that the riots were spontaneous events involving some students and some of the poor.

She DID NOT report that these events were the work of the CIA and its friends.

Why did Maria Ressa not mention the CIA and its friends?


In May 1998, gangsters were brought into Jakarta to burn and rape and murder. Soldiers were disguised as students. Helicopters directed the looters. The CIA chief had visited Jakarta shortly before the riots.


At some point in the 1990s Suharto was seen by some Americans as having become too powerful and too independent minded.

Suharto was giving too many business contracts to his family and Chinese-Indonesian cronies, rather than to American companies like Ford.

Some people in the Pentagon considered the possibility of having a general such as Prabowo or Wiranto or Yuhhoyono take over.

In order to topple Suharto there would need to be riots.

In Indonesia, in the years 1997- 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia. Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned. (http://www.insideindonesia.org/edit50/riots.htm)

Intelligence agencies

In Indonesia, trouble is often organised by the spies. Back in the 1950s the British and American intelligence agencies had organised rebellions in various parts of Indonesia, in order to undermine President Sukarno.(http://www.westpapuanews.com/articles/publish/article_31.shtml)


Prabowo, notorious in East Timor.

The generals

In 1998 one of the key generals was Prabowo, son of Dr. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, a former Finance Minister, said to have once worked with the British and the Americans against Sukarno.

Prabowo had learnt about terrorism at Fort Bragg and Fort Benning in the US. General Prabowo and terror (http://yayasanhak.minihub.org/mot/Prabowo.htm)

In May 1998, Prabowo was commander of Kostrad, the strategic reserve, the regiment Suharto commanded when he took power in 1965.

Prabowo's friend Muchdi ran Kopassus (special forces) and his friend Sjafrie ran the Jakarta Area Command.

General Wiranto, the overall head of the military, was seen as a rival to Prabowo.

The American Defence Secretary, 
William Cohen, was in Jakarta in January 1998 and he visited both Prabowo and Wiranto.

The CIA chief had also been a recent visitor to Jakarta. The CIA and the Pentagon were close to both Prabowo and Wiranto. (http://solidarity.igc.org/atc/emily75.html)

Students

At the start of May 1998, students were holding peaceful demonstrations on university campuses across the country. They were protesting against massive price rises for fuel and energy, and they were demanding that President Suharto should step down.

On May 12th, students at Jakarta's Trisakti University, many of them the children of the elite, planned to march to parliament to present the government with their demands for reform. The police prevented the students from marching.

Some time after 5pm, uniformed men on motorcycles appeared on the flyover which overlooks Trisakti. Shots rang out. Four students were killed.


..
Riots of May 13-14

Riots of May 13-14

On the 13th of May there were reports of rioting in the area around Trisakti. President Suharto was attending a conference in Egypt and the military top brass went off to Malang in East Java to attend a ceremony.

On the 14th of May, serious rioting took place in the Jakarta area. There were no signs of any uniformed soldiers on the streets.

Deaths

Over 1,000 people died during these Jakarta riots, most having been burnt in malls and supermarkets but some having been shot or beaten.

Alleged involvement of the military in planning the riots

Father Sandyawan Sumardi, a 40-year-old Jesuit priest and son of a police chief, led an independent investigation into the events of May 1998.

As a member of the Team of Volunteers for Humanitarian Causes he interviewed people who had witnessed the alleged involvement of the military in organising the riots and rapes.
(http://www.indonesia-house.org/archive/mei98/The%20Riot%20Pattern%20in%20Jakarta%20and%20Surroundings%20-%20Beberapa%20Pola%20dalam%20Kerusuhan%20Massa.htm) (http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/98/0626/nat_6_indoriots.html)

A security officer alleged that Kopassus (special forces) officers had ordered the burning down of a bank;

a taxi driver reported hearing a man in a military helicopter encouraging people on the ground to carry out looting;

shop-owners at a Plaza claimed that, before the riots, military officers tried to extract protection money;

a teenager claimed he and thousands of others had been trained as protesters;

a street child alleged that Kopassus officers ordered him and and his friends to become rioters;

there was a report of soldiers being dressed up as students and then taking part in rioting;

eyewitnesses spoke of muscular men with short haircuts arriving in military-style trucks and directing attacks on Chinese homes and businesses.

There were reports of children being encouraged to enter malls and then of the malls being set on fire;

there were allegations that muscular men with short haircuts had gang-raped little Chinese girls and then murdered some of them.

Suharto told he had lost the support of the military

Some of Suharto's former allies deserted him. Wiranto allowed students to occupy Parliament. Reportedly Wiranto reported to Suharto on May 20th that Suharto no longer had the support of the army. Suharto was forced to resign on May 21 and was replaced by Habibie, his Vice President.

The continuing importance of the military

Wiranto remained as chief of the armed forces. Wiranto's troops began removing the students from the parliament building.

One result of the May riots was that the military appeared to remain the power behind the throne. In 2004, General Yudhoyono became president.
